Why is professional AC cleaning important in Dubai homes and offices?

Dubai’s climate creates constant high humidity inside AC systems, which encourages microbial growth. Without proper cleaning, AC units can circulate contaminants throughout indoor spaces.

How is Saniservice different from standard AC cleaning companies in the UAE?

Most AC cleaners focus on visible dust. Saniservice follows a scientific indoor environmental remediation process that targets microbial sources, moisture behavior, and airflow contamination.

Is AC mould common in Dubai buildings?

Yes. Due to year-round AC use, high humidity, and sealed buildings, AC-related microbial growth is extremely common in Dubai residential and commercial properties.

Why does simple AC duct cleaning often fail to solve air quality issues?

Duct cleaning alone does not address coils, drain pans, humidity imbalance, or microbial reservoirs. Without correcting these, contamination quickly returns.

How does Saniservice assess whether an AC system is contaminated?

We begin with system inspection and risk assessment, examining moisture patterns, airflow paths, and areas prone to microbial growth rather than relying on visual assumptions.

Why is fogging not an effective AC disinfection method?

Fogging treats air temporarily but does not remove contamination from coils, drains, or surfaces where microbes grow. It masks symptoms without solving root causes.

Can bleach be used safely inside AC systems?

Bleach fails because it does not penetrate biofilms, can corrode components, and does not correct humidity conditions that allow regrowth.

How does humidity affect AC hygiene in the UAE climate?

Humidity is the primary driver of microbial growth. Without addressing moisture behavior inside the system, cleaning alone will not deliver lasting results.

What does “medical-grade AC disinfection” actually mean?

It refers to controlled cleaning and disinfection methods aligned with indoor environmental health standards, not perfumes or cosmetic sanitizers.

How does Saniservice verify that AC cleaning was effective?

Where required, we use pre- and post-intervention validation methods to confirm that contamination levels have been meaningfully reduced.

Is AC cleaning necessary even if there is no visible mould?

Yes. Microbial contamination often exists inside coils and drains long before visible signs appear, especially in Dubai’s climate.

How often should AC systems be cleaned in Dubai?

Frequency depends on usage, humidity levels, and building type, but most UAE properties require more frequent intervention than cooler climates.

Can poor AC hygiene affect health?

Contaminated AC systems can circulate microbial fragments and irritants that may worsen respiratory symptoms and indoor comfort.

Why does Saniservice sometimes clean less than other companies?

Our methodology focuses on correct intervention. We avoid unnecessary disturbance that can spread contamination or damage system components.

Is this service suitable for villas, apartments, and commercial buildings?

Yes. The same scientific principles apply across residential, commercial, and sensitive environments in the UAE.

How does Saniservice handle AC cleaning in occupied spaces?

We use controlled procedures designed to minimize disruption and prevent the spread of contaminants during cleaning.

What role does airflow play in AC contamination?

Improper airflow allows moisture and particles to settle, creating ideal conditions for microbial growth inside the system.

Can AC cleaning reduce recurring odours?

Yes, when odours are caused by microbial growth or trapped moisture, addressing the source eliminates the problem rather than masking it.

Why is source identification important before disinfection?

Disinfection without understanding the cause leads to recurrence. Our process identifies why contamination formed in the first place.

Who should consider Saniservice’s AC cleaning and disinfection service?

Clients in Dubai who prioritize verified indoor air quality, occupant health, and long-term building performance rather than superficial cleaning.

Is mold making my kids sick?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell in the basement where my son's room is located. It’s gotten progressively worse over the past few weeks, and now there seems to be a visible greenish-black mold growing on the wall behind his bed. My kids have been complaining of itchy eyes and coughing, which has me really worried about their health. Could this be due to the mold? What should I do first?

Is mold making your kids sick? It's very possible. The symptoms they're experiencing could indeed be caused by the mold in their room. In Dubai and the UAE, we often see increased moisture due to humidity or after rainfall, which can lead to mold growth especially in basements and areas with poor ventilation.

Mold produces spores that can trigger allergic reactions like itchy eyes, runny nose, and coughing. For children, who are more sensitive to environmental factors, the risk of developing respiratory issues is higher. It's essential to address this issue promptly for their health and well-being.

Firstly, don't ignore those symptoms - act fast! We recommend calling 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 (Saniservice) right away for a professional mold inspection. They will assess the extent of the problem and provide remediation services if necessary.

In the meantime, avoid letting your kids go into that room as much as possible. Keep windows closed to prevent further moisture from entering the area. Use dehumidifiers or air purifiers with HEPA filters in the affected room to help reduce airborne mold spores.

If you decide not to call a professional and want to tackle it yourself, start by wearing protective gear like gloves, masks, and goggles before cleaning. Mix a solution of 1 cup bleach with one gallon of water and apply it to the moldy areas. Let it sit for five minutes, then scrub gently and rinse thoroughly. Make sure to ventilate well after cleaning.

However, remember that DIY solutions are often temporary fixes. Mold can be tricky and may reoccur if the underlying moisture issues aren't addressed. A thorough inspection by professionals will ensure a comprehensive solution to prevent future occurrences.

Don't let this situation go unattended - your kids' health is paramount. Saniservice has years of experience dealing with mold in Dubai and can help you regain a safe environment for your family.
